Patient's question:
My baby is nine months old and is formula-fed. How much milk should she consume in a day, how many times should she be fed, and at what times? How many times should she have supplementary foods, and at what times? Should I feed her a bottle of formula if she wakes up in the middle of the night?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The current situation is to increase diet! 1) Let the baby gradually adapt. At first, the child should get used to the taste of vegetable soup and juice to pique his interest. It can be diluted 2-3 times with adult soup and cooled to body temperature. It can be fed before breastfeeding. Juice can also be fed directly with water or mixed with. (2) Gradually increase the amount and variety of complementary foods for the baby. Adding new complementary foods should be done gradually. Start with small amounts and gradually increase the quantity. Adding too quickly can lead to failure. After birth for 4 months, the baby starts adding yolk, beginning with 1/4. After a week, if the appetite is not good and the digestive system is normal, increase to 1/2, and then gradually increase to whole yolk. You can eat whole eggs by 6 months.
